Good luck,hope it works out well.<br><b>References : </b><br> I’m a professional painter.I saw the paint method you referred to.It actually doesn’t look that bad, but for all the work involved it would probably be much easier and just as cheap to spray it instead.That Interlux is great stuff to use either way.As far as priming goes,it’s not needed in any form other than over bare metal or to fill and level scratches with.It doesn’t need a sealer either,just water sand the entire body with something like 400 grit.

Primering requires sanding before and after it is applyed. But a primer is not always required in most cases. Primers are used to cover bare metal and body fillers. But a primer sealer is advised. There are differnt colors of sealers and even a clear one is made. and depends on the color you are painting the car. I hope this helps you..<br><b>References : </b><br>Auto paint shop owner. 25yrs Primer is really used to fill any imprection that are in the paint.

One thing i've learned is doign a paint job outside of a spray booth is not advisable. Problems with dust settling or improper paint prep make it not a good Idea Back to your question you definatly need a primer. primer is designed to bond better to the substrate especially metal. The finish coat will bond better to the primer.<br><b>References : </b><br> worked in my uncles garage in jamaica for many years.
